April 27, 1981 tity firemen battle dump fire (fClty ol Poughkeepile firemen taught stubborn dump fire off Rin ettdl Blvd. near several fuel storage finks Sunday night for more than five hours. fire, which fire officials say was probably set, started around 7 Sunday and burned down into a 10 foot mound of garbage In the dump, according to city Fire Captain Herbert Burkhard. The dump contained mostly leaves and trees, although there were a few tires, according to fire officials.

The fuel storage tanks are owned by Effron Fuel Co. and were not damaged In the fire. Modest Cape Cod Has Extra Livable Space About 10 firemen, two fire engines and a ladder truck were at the scene. Bulldozers were used to turn the debris over so the fire could be extinguished. The fire was finally extinguished at midnight today, Burkhard said.

The Falrview Fire Department was called to the city's main fire station under mutual aid to cover while the city's equipment was at the dump fire. It was not immediatly known who owns the apparently abandoned dump. It Is located on the south end of the DeLaval property near the river bank. and Is scheduled to be resprayed In 1988, he said. Russell said the chemicals are biodegradable and do not accumulate from year to year.

He said he did not know if the chemicals were filtering Into the well water. But If they were, he said, they would "not be harmful to humans in the quantities which are used In Central Hudson spraying programs." "The only way to determine if the chemicals are reaching the water supply is to test the water," he. said. A spokesman for Camo Pollution Control, the company which tests town wells, said they have not tested for the presence of herbicides and can only do so at the request of the town board. Town Supervisor Louis Diehl said the board has not authorized the tests "because we did not anticipate such a problem." "We're waiting to find out from Central Hudson the possible dangers posed by the herbicides, and if there is any question we will do whatever tests are necessary," he said.

brush fires Fromp9e9 stuck set of brakes locks the wheels on a particular car, leading to friction between the metal wheels and the tracks. That friction causes sparks, which can start fires. The Conrail spokesman said the brake problem was discovered when the train arrived at Poughkeepsle and a routine check was made of the brake boxes. Richardson said there have been a series of fires along the Hudson Line tracks in recent weeks, but the others were "nothing of this magnitude." QfoltlinriftS obituaries page 10 Nicholas A.

Architects Herman York and Raymond Schenke accomplish their objective by placing two bedrooms in what amounts to a combination Cape Cod front with a two story rear elevation.

While the house appears from the street to be a traditional one and one half story type, the use of 1 continuous dormer across the upstairs rear produces a large amount of space in what actually is a structure of modest size. From the entrance, one can go directly to the living area and country kitchen or to the main bedroom on the first level. A stairway leading to the second floor bedrooms is convenient to the front door. Although Design A 126 has less than 1,400 square feet of habitable area, its three bedrooms, long living room, large dining kitchen and two bathrooms provide for complete family living. The country kitchen will be the focal point of family activity.

Sliding glass doors lead directly to the rear terrace. A serving shelf from the kitchen makes it convenient to pass food to those enjoying an outdoor mealv On the upper floor, the stair hall becomes" a balcony overlooking the living room. This increases the volume of the lower floor, giving a cathedral like appearance to the room below. An attractive balcony railing adds to the elegance of this area. The unusual depth of the balcony insures pnvacy for the two upstairs bedrooms.

There are closets throughout, with additional storage space available in the large basement below. A laundry with its "mud" closet is located between the kitchen and garage. This allows the family to enter the house directly from the garage, an advantage in inclement weather. The garage is oversized to allow for the storing of garden tools and equipment. It should be noted that the garage can be increased to one large enough for two cars without affecting the architectural character of the exterior.

The outside walls are covered with cedar shingles although any siding of horizontal design and proper scale can be substituted for the shingles. The chimney is shown in brick, but there, too, a substitution of stone can be made without detracting from the appearance of the house. Color is largely a matter of individual preference; it should be remembered, however, that lighter colors tend to make a house appear larger and can be effectively used to contrast with both trim and roof shingle colors. lAw inTaOBSBOBSiaL.
